It is very cool indeed. But the owners want to remain anonymous, an odd choice given that they are pursuing public events. My understanding is that they don't want to detract from their charitable efforts. This, too, is an odd choice given that mystery simply adds to the intrigue. But it is their circus and their monkeys.

I am just glad they're OK. That was as nasty as blow-overs get.

Was a hard thing to watch - they are very lucky they got as much air as they did as it dropped their speed considerably. Happy they are able to walk away without injury
